Dimensional modeling has become the most widely accepted
approach for data warehouse design. Greatly expanded to cover
both basic and advanced techniques for optimizing data warehouse
design, this second edition to Ralph Kimballís classic guide is
more than sixty percent updated.

The authors begin with
fundamental design recommendations and gradually progress step-
by-step through increasingly complex scenarios. Clear-cut
guidelines for designing dimensional models are illustrated
using real-world data warehouse case studies drawn from a
variety of business application areas and industries.
